Why do we give any credibility to the opinions of this pumped up little rat ????

Agree. Just another ex player trying to still be relevant.

    I think there is a legitimate question about the direction footy is going about how successful teams with multiple key targets will be. I don’t think losing hogan would be the end of the world. We’d get a lot in return. But I also don’t think we will lose him.

    I’m not one to sensationalise, but do we honestly think he’s the answer at FF.

    Trade him for two first rounders while he has some currency !

    That's one of the biggest lies I've seen on here.

    I don't like to jump on this bandwagon

    But I am

    He can't lead and mark, and he can't kick - pretty fundamental for FF

    Just because he's big and fit doesn't make him a KPF

    Btw Weideman in same boat ATM

    worth a discussion if you think we can cover his goal scoring ability with Weideman and improved mid field kicking.

    So what do we get in his place. Two first round picks ... I like the idea but we all know it's a lottery. We also save a lot of money that allows us to go after Gaff.

    Assuming you go for a trade or an ontrade of the two picks who do you trade for.

    I'm neutral but I would be disappointed if the list committee wasn't doing the SWOT analysis.

    You have to look at where we have trade currency and Hogan is where it's at.

    Geez calm down Overexaduration do we have another Key Forward waiting i don't think so right now Weidemann is not up to it. I personally think he is carrying something but once on the field your expected to perform. I don't know why they didn't rest him last week to be honest. I would moving on JKH. Why they continue to play JKH i have no idea he is not up to hit. If they would have played Kent instead as bad as we played we may have got over the line.

    so would I but no one is going to offer it unless you want to take it over three years.

    BTW I would want two first rounders in the first 8 before I would think about it.

    why.... we need to talk about how we win a premiership so all things should be able to be discussed.

    People on demonland reveal their lack of knowledge about football quite often. 

    They are done through:

    trade hogan

    trade petracca

    play pederson

    to name a few

    To quote Darth Vader "I find your lack of faith disturbing".

    To trade him now is a mistake.  His too-often misses of set shots really makes my blood boil, but not enough to trade him.

    Petracca on the other hand... I might be warming to this idea.

    I agree on discussing what would be helpful, I just don't like the hysterical premise.

    The season's not over, we need positive solutions now, not next year.

    Maybe play Hogan strictly at half forward and in the middle next week?

    Said this a while ago. We have glaring holes, need class, but no one wants to give anything up for quality. We need to be creative. I’d offer Hogan, Kent, Hunt, Garlett for something decent (2-3 players or picks.

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
